My goal for all of us is to grow intellectually and spiritually. We will be busy learning all kinds of interesting facts and having fun while we’re at it. Most of all, I insist that we are respectful and kind to each other in the process. Book Report One book of your choice; it must be a minimum of 150 pages and it is required to be on the recommended grade level books from the Napa Library or the California State Standards http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/rl/ll/ap/litsearch.asp See the attached instructions and rubric that I will use to grade your book reports.
